# Presenting Controls

Spectacle comes with a few keyboard shortcuts to help you navigate your presentation. These shortcuts are available in both the browser and the Presenter Mode. You can also use the command bar to see all available shortcuts.

## Command Bar

Pressing <kbd>&#8984;</kbd>/<kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>k</kbd> will open the command bar. This will show you all available keyboard shortcuts and common navigation options.

## Query Parameters

A handful of query parameters are supported within your Spectacle presentation.
Append your URL with one of the following parameters, like so: `&<parameter>=true`.
To combine parameters, use multiple `&` to separate the parameters, e.g.: `&exportMode=true&printMode=true`
